NOT ANXIOUS FOR RELIEF
Burlington Employes Start Campaign to
Aboliih lotnrance Feature.
MORE LABOR BUREAU FIGURES ON CROPS
Uaardamen Complain That Regular
Army Clothe Are Tea Large,
While the llala leaned Them
Are Too Small.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July l.-(Speclal.)-Burllngton
employes, particularly In the train, switch
and engine service, are agitating the ques
tion of forcing a change In the relief de
partment. This Is known as the "volun
tary" relief department, but as a matter
of fact no man can get a Job on the Bur
lington unless he can pass the physical
examination of the insurance branch, and
membership therein Is compulsory.
The contract of Insurance contains a
clause waiving the right to bring a suit
for damages, should an Injury occur or
death result from an accident on the road.
or. If the Insured prefers tas:ng Ills chance
In the courts he must waive the right to
benefits under his contract of insurance.
The supreme court has held this contract
to te a valid one and that If once signed
the employe Is bound thereby.
Now the Burlington men want the legls- !
lature to give them relief, either by pro
hibiting or making Invalid a contract of
that character. They reaJIxe that the Bur
lington has a big hold upon legislators and
that they cannot hope to get redress by
simply asking for It. The agitation Just
now Is to have the men take a hand ln
politics. It is said they propose to go to
work systematically to find out who the
men are that have aspirations for seats
in the legislative body of the state and
sound them on the matter of favoring n
measure that will make the railroad cor
porations of the state liable for damages
for negligence or other causes independent
of the fact that settlement has been made
with the relief department of the road. If
the aspiring statesmen agree t6 champion
their Interests the railroad men will take
off their coats and work like coal heavers
for their nomination and election. If the
men who wish to be honored politically fall
to give a satisfactory answer to their re
quest or refuse point blank to act in favor
of the measure strong efforts will be made
to defeat them in the county convention,
and If this does not win to try a solar
plexus blow at the polls.
At one time the Burlington offered Its
maimed and crippled employes a life Job
or the amount numed ln the policy of the
relief department. In late years It has
refused to give employment to its crippled
workers, insisting that they settle with the
Insurance branch and go their way. In
only rare Instances has the rood given a
man light employment after he has been
permanently injured.
The employe insists that the few hundred
dollars which Is given for the loss of a
hand or leg or both is ridiculously Inade
quate for the future support of a man or
his family, he being shut out of other
avenues of labor by reason of his crippled
condition. They think that it Is a matter
of great Injustice when one has spent many
years of his life railroading to be thrown
out on a cold and unfeeling public Without
a fighting chance of gaining a bare living.
The men believe that the corporation ought
to take care of these' faithful workers
when they are injured for the balance of
their days. Give them light work It they
can make a hand, and It this is not possible
they ought to have the right to seek re
dress in the courts with the chance of
obtaining damages If the case Is one that
calls for It.
Another feature of the relief system
which the men think Is radically wrong is
its rule that a person must be 111 six days
before being allowed to draw relief money.
They think that the examining physician,
who is paid a fair salary for knowing his
business, ought to be able to tell when a
man Is shamming and when he Is really
sick. They don't object to a day or two,
but six Is hard to swallow. Many of the
members of the department have been off
four or five days during the course 'of years,
but have been unable to draw a sou. ,
Corn Yield Will Be Dig.
According to the figuring of Labor Com
missioner Bush Nebraska's corn crop will
bo a big one. He has reports on condition
of corn and oats from all of the countloa

the average crop. Nuckolls, Seward, Fill

which are credited with le-ss. their condi

places ln the race for supremacy as a corn

The oats crop shows up better all along
the line, tho lowest condition being found,
according to the report. In Hitchcock

equal rar.k In this respect are Red Willow,

simists have predicted for several of the
older counties of the stnte.

the observations of Commissioner Bush and
Chief Clerk Despaln. who have recently
made a tout of the jiats for that purpose.

Ooreraor Prlrea Stiver Spike.
Governor Mickey drove the silver spike
this afternoon which celebrated the com
pletion of the new extension of the Lincoln
Traction company's line to the state ex
periment farm of the university, four miles
cast of the city. For several years the
management of the state farm has been
hampered by the poor traveling facilities
between the farm and the university, the
traction company at last yielding to pres
sure and agreeing to extend one of Its lines
to the former point. In spite of a drlxxllng
rain a large delegation of citizens boarded
free trolljy cars provided by the traction
company and Journeyed to the farm to wit
ness the ceremony. After the governor had
driven the silver spike, short addresses
were delivered by the experltnent farm In
structors and a few of the cltlxens. Recog
nizing the great aid to the agricultural In
terests of the state the last legislature was
very liberal in providing for the extension
of the work of the experiment station and
besides a new building st'the farm the
equipment for the purposes of experimenta
tion will be greatly Augmented during the
coming year.
Soldiers' Hats Don't Fit.
Adjutant General Culver of the Nebraska
National Guard hus forwarded the last of
the new khaki uniforms to the different
mllltla companies In the state. These uni
forms were supplied by the federal govern
ment In accordance with tne provisions of
the Dick military bill, which passed con
gress at Its last session and which, while
It gives the federal government control of
the National Guard, also makes It Incum
ment upon the government to provide al
the necessary equipment. In all, 1.800 uni
forms were furnished the Nebraska Na
tional Guard.
The uniforms came In graduated sizes, the
military authorities at Washington parcel
ing them out In accordance with the aver
ages which pertain to tne regular army.
Adjutant General Culver Is now receiving
a steady string of complaints that the suits
are too large for the 'militiamen. This, tho
adjutant general explains, is due to the
fact that the regular army soldier Is a
larger man than the guardsman; he Is also
a much older man,--tnd has attained the
physical growth whicHicames with greater
years. But another, and more unique, ob
jection to the new equipment Is that the
hats are too small, and while the garments
are too roomy to suit the guardsman, who
likes a natty flttis to his coat and trousers,
his dome of thought seems to be built on a
broader gusged plan, with the result that
i'ino riK n ncniiKrsr lur IDD regular
army man will not do at all for the Ne
braska mllltlamnn. There Is no remedy,
however, and the equipment must be used
until worn out. when the law provides for
Its replacement.
Iltqnrat to Coaaty Chairmen.
t
Chairman Lindsay and Secretary Allen of
the republican state committee are address
ing circular letters to all county chairmen
ln the state, urging the latter to forward
immediately to headquarters a complete
list of county delegations relected to attend
the state convention next month ln Lincoln.
The state committee has found that ad
vance Information of this nature, If com
plete, la an Incalculable benefit ln having
the question, of credentials practically set
tled before the convention comes to order;
It saves much time and enables the con
vention to enter upon the regular order of
business with astonishing dispatch. An
other advantage of securing the lists of
delegates comes from the fact that the
state
committee la thus placed In touch
with most of the promlnant party workers
In nil of the counties, so that any matter!
of party Interest In any of the counties can
be pointed out by the state committee with
thn reasonable assurance that the proper
parties are known who will give It the
needed attention. The state committee is
especially desirous thnt II blanks sent to
county chairmen will be filled out promptly
and forwarded without delay to the secre
tary, Mr. Allen.
Jnnlor Normals a Great Saeeeaa.
State Superintendent Fowler la becoming
more and more convinced as the weeks roll
by that the establishment of Junior nor
mal schools In the western portion of the
ibis uuring in. similiter months waa
very commendable Idea. By tho terms of
the new statute five Junior normal schools
were established at North Platte, McCook,
Holdrrgo, Alliance end Valentine. Recent
returns from the different schools show
that at each of the first three points the
attendance of teachers exceeds 200, while at
Alliance nnd Valentine the attendance Is
well beyond the ISO mark. Superintendent
Fowler left the city last night to Inspect
the North Platte Normal, going to McCook
next week.' To date the Junior normals have
been In operation eight weeks, leaving them
two weeks yet to run.

To Beautify Ground.
Architect Tyler Is busy preparing sketches
and plans to carry out some Ideas the state
officers have about beautifying the state
hou?e grounds. These Involve the use of
conduits to take away the flood waters
that have heretofore used the walks for
the' purpose of reaching the sewers. Tho
north approach to the esplanade will be
crowned so tl.it fiere will be a slope for
drainage purpDsca. Six steps will reach
tho lexel cf the campus Irom the Btreet
level. At each end will be massive curved
balustrades of stone and cement, opening
cut like wings. Instead of the wooden steps
at the northeast corner of the ground
curving steps of stone and cement will be
used. All the corners will be treated the
same way when Hie work Is ended. The
driveways will also be changed and
widened.
FAIL TO LOCATE THEIR SON
Tecamaeh Couple Make Journey to
Alaska. Which Is Only Par.
tlally Successful.
TECUMSEH, Neb., July 31. (Special.)
Judge and Mrs. John Wilson of this city
are home from a trip to Alaska. They went
to that far-away northern country a month
or six weeks ago for the purpose of looat-
'ns ,nclr ""'y ',on Jonn w"Hon- whl
left tnclr hmne ,n lf75 and whom tne' ,,av
who
a
not seen rlnce. They were prompted In
making this trip in a peculiar way. Last
winter a Prof. Schlesinger, a spiritualist,
visited this city end advertised to do won
derful things. Judge Wilson paid him a
visit and asked him to locate his lost son.
The spiritualist Informed the Judge that
his son was in Alaska, not far from Daw
son City. The spiritualist told the Judge
many things about his son which happened
in his youth and while he was at home,
and the Judge verified the stories and took
faith ln the wizard's prediction. Con
sequently when summer arrived Judge and
Mrs. Wilson made the long trip to Alaska
in search of their son. Arriving at Dawson
' City, strange as It may seem, they found
clue to the whereabouts of the missing
